Lake Powell extent polygons at various elevations

These data were compiled to visualize the extent of Lake Powell at various elevation levels. These data represent water surface elevations for Lake Powell at levels critical to the operation of Glen Canyon Dam, at 5 foot intervals from the "Equalization Tier" ("Full Pool") to "Dead Pool", and at maximum and minimum elevations each water year throughout Glen Canyon Dam's operating history. These data were created for Lake Powell in Arizona and Utah. These data were created by the U.S. Geological Survey, Southwest Biological Science Center, Grand Canyon Monitoring & Research Center by reclassifying "Modified topobathymetric elevation data for Lake Powell" (Jones and Root, 2021) at discrete elevation levels and converting them into vector format. These data can be used to visualize locations or resources in Lake Powell at various elevation levels as it continues to change.
